Why is the King extending royal olive branches to his disgraced brother, and what is Andrew really up to while in "internal exile"? Paula Froelich is joined by royal insider Tom Sykes (The Royalist at The Daily Beast) to break down the Balmoral scandal, the South of France private jet spottings, and how Charles is breaking Queen Elizabeth’s No. 1 golden rule: putting family before the survival of the Crown.

The south of England just recorded its driest July since 1836, nearly two centuries of rainfall data. Temperatures in Sandwich climbed as high as 35 degrees Celsius in recent weeks, and the…Open
